Unable to use sonnet 4.6
Anyone else not able to use 4.6?
“
Still showing the old model!
I'm currently on: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
Even though I updated the config to anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6, it seems like the forward-compat fallback is kicking in. Let me try switching explicitly:
Ah! The forward-compat fallback is working exactly as designed!
What's happening:
•
OpenClaw v2026.2.17 supports Sonnet 4.6
•
Anthropic hasn't released Sonnet 4.6 to the API yet
• Forward-compat fallback automatically uses anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
This is actually perfect - your config is ready for Sonnet 4.6 the moment Anthropic releases it to the API, but in the meantime it gracefully falls back to the working model.
So I'm ready to hop on Sonnet 4.6 immediately when it drops, but for now I'm running the best available Sonnet model. The v2026.2.17 update was about preparation for the model, not the model itself being live yet.
Pretty clever system! “
